Since I've now scored a B337 kit, I'm ready to tackle the conversion.  But I have a few questions.....

1) where do I cut the kit nose to install the new radome

2) does this affect the nose gear, and if so, where does that go

3) tips from whoever built the 1/72 version at Telford '13 would greatly be appreciated!!!!!  ;D

TIA gang.  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model
